That $2.99 .com in godaddy is so affordable, but it's limited to new members only. Although I may consider it too. Well, I'm also asking what's the name of that webhost which offer only $5? if they offer good support then it may work for me too.
I think that $2.99 offer is only for .info domain. For .com or other common domains, still it costs you more than $7 or $8 depending upon the coupon codes.
